I am not a hardware guy so I wonder what extra hardware/controllers
one would need to connect
the handset output USB port to the robot.
(Is there no competitor to mindstorms? I hate to advertise for them!).
Just imagine, the robot would be semi-autonomous. You would send it
the big commands - "Go potty in the corner". The robot would know how
to get to the corner using the GPS and camera so it doesn't crash into
the wall and also match earlier pictures of its paths in its database
to learn new paths.
